Not understanding all the votes for Speed Boost Blazekin. I presume we're on about OU here, so I can't see how it effected things. Basically, it was soon identified as too powerful and was banned pretty quickly, so Blazekin went from being seen not much in OU, because it was UU, to not being seen in OU, because it was Uber. Not much of an impact, if you ask me.

Hey Serebii, how you doing? Not sure how many of you guys from way back are out there, but just to let you know that I'm back, though I'm not sure how regularly I'll be on. Thanks for everything, and I hope I can continue to enjoy my time here!

For the Battle Subway and PWT: Truant Durant.
1) Use Entrainment.
2) Switch out to a Baton Passer like Smeargle.
3) Set up Shift Gear or Quiver Dance or any set up move you have while using Protect on the attacking turns of Truant.
4) Use Substitute when the opponent can't move then Protect next turn
5) Baton Pass to the Sweeper of your choice.

The only Lead Pokemon for the Leaders and Champions that has anything to counter Entrainment Durant is Brock's Onix with Protect in the Kanto Leaders Tournament but even with that, unless he uses it every other turn, you got nothing to worry about (It's only attacking move is Sand Tomb). Plus the AI is stupid enough to not switch out when it gets Truant.
I've never used it before but I really do want to try it out.

The Magic Guard Alakazam looks amazing to me. But I do also really like the Drizzle Politoed, the Magic Bounce Espeon, and the combination of Chlorophyll Venusaur and Drought Ninetales; they're all really effective as well. Can't wait to try some of these out!

I luv! Magic bounce espeon .... it livens up Hyper Offensive teams sooo much either by screens or by getting rid of those pesky Thunder Waves or Hazards without the need for Lum Berries or Spinners
Also It goes great with Sun teams as well and so with Drought Ninetails
But I think for changing the metagame it would be multiscale dnite. .. cause now it has soooo many options for use, it is EVERYWHERE .. be it DDer, Sp atker, tank, bulky ... the list is endless

Lately been loving me some Ninetales and Venosaur combo, I'm playing around and trying to find the right 3rd pokemon to fit in there. Magnezone works ok unless I'm against a Garachomp :_:
But now I really want a speed boost blaziken

While I did vote for Blaziken in this thread in the past, I have changed my mind since then. After gaining more experience, I'd say that Espeon is easily the best released Dream World Pokémon, just because of how universally useful I have realized the ability to reflect status and entry hazards to be.

i think multiscale dragonite is way better than the others cuz this ability made him easily able to dance at least one time whick makes him a massive sweaper
then comes blaziken even though he isn't usually able to dance and his obvious protect can leave him up to some weakness , and his main move HJK is really dangerous if the opponent has a ghost type PKMN
and ofc drizzle and drought, even chlorophyll r very good abilities but they r more teamical

I am Red. I conquered the Pokemon World more times that you have ever battled. I stand upon the top of the world from Mt. Silver. Indeed, I am the Living Legend as well as The Undefeated Battler. Millions have groveled under my Smash Pass. I am the Revolutionary Smashpasser! Now, bow down before your master! Do you have what it takes to have me as your Leader?

Wow. This is a tough one. All Pokemon mentioned above improved from the Dream World, and each in their own way. I personally am going to vote for Blaziken just because of Speed Boost. I mean, getting banned to Ubers just because of your ability combined with great attacking stats? That sounds like an incredible improvement IMO.

This. Otherwise I would have voted for Politoed, given the amount of rain teams that are running around.

I should say Drizzle Politoed but I really don't like to use a Drizzle Politoed because Drizzle+Swift Swim is banned and I use a Kindgra as my main sweeper, so I will have to say either Technician Breloom or Magic Guard Alakazam.

Truant Durant being Baton Passed a mean look would make a great way to set up w/ a baton pass team. Im gonna try this.

Sadly, Mean Look cannot be Baton Passed anymore. However, the infamous Entrainment Truant Durant + Shadow Tag Chandelure combo was pretty annoying back in DW OU. There were a couple of times where I was able to pull it off and sweep teams nearly effortlessly with a +6 SubCM Chandelure.
